Wife had her wallet lifted with cash and credit cards right before Christmas last year while grocery shopping. Before she missed them, thieves had racked up about 3000 dollars in charges before she checked out from the grocery. No one was prosecuted even though Meijer and the gas station had them on video 
I would venture that most serious gun owners keep their weapons in some sort of a safe. Also a big difference between breaking in to someones home (where you don't know if they are there or not, have an alarm, or dog) and a car in a parking lot. I work where there is probably one of the most secured parking in Indy, and I never leave valuables in the car. Walk through the mall lots some time and see how many valuables are in the front seats of cars. As I said, I am not defending the thief, but I bet you lock your front door when you leave for work.Why are gun owners allowed to keep guns in the home? I mean, anyone who breaks in could steal them!
I agree, cash and credit cards shouldn't be left alone, but your stuff should be safe wherever you put it. It's a slippery slope to start blaming the victims...

My wife had about $20 worth of change stolen out of her unlocked car in our driveway one night. She started blaming herself for not locking her car the night before but I told her that it was NOT her fault!!! The dirtbag who took it should have his hand removed!!!!!!
I will NEVER agree to placing any responsibility for a theft on the forgetfulness of the owner! We should be able to leave our cars and homes unlocked! we can't and most of the time we don't but that does not give ANYONE an invitation to take what isn't theirs. about the same time this happened to my wife I noticed there was around $30 or $40 just laying on our bathroom counter...for a week or more and nobody in my house touched it. I told my boys that I am proud of them for not taking what isn't theirs.
I am really sorry to hear about your son's birthday demise. I hope it can turn around for you.
Maybe it runs in families. No one in mine owns a gun safe. We stick them in closets, under beds, sofas, chairs... you get the picture. An uncle on my mom's side did have his all stolen about 30 years ago (close to 100 long guns), but it was his soon to be ex bro in law so not sure a safe would have helped. A great uncle of mine died last year that I am sure had over 200 long and hand guns just stuck around the house when he died. Most he had bought new and they were still in the box going back to the 40's. Wish I had been in the will for some of those.I would venture that most serious gun owners keep their weapons in some sort of a safe.

Once had a widow smashed in. The thief rifled through all of my stuff, then took nothing.
Guess my stuff wasn't worth nothin' except a $72 replacement window.
I hate thieves
